1.6” overnight in Canaan. 40.3” on the season. Looks like a break heading into tomorrow and then another spit of snow overnight Sunday with another few inches possible.

Bro, if you’re going to question me, use the thread that I created for any such discussion

It just seems like you keep coming up with different ways of repeatedly writing the same general thing……big snowfall/aa snowfall seasons are less frequent now than in the past. And I don’t see many people on here arguing that overall sentiment. What value comes from repeating it over and over?

That post was far too long to quote. Why start with the 57-58 season for the analysis of seasons with >= 25” with the statement that these winters used to happen regularly? The 57-58 season just so happens to be the beginning of arguably our most prolific period of seasonal snowfall on record at BWI. In fact, BWI reported 7 seasons of >= 25” snowfall in the 10 year period starting with 57-58 with an average over 30”. In the decade prior, it didn’t happen once. Why was that 10 year stretch left out of the analysis?

This is the way to go.

It still for those that know and accept what our climo is.

In 61 years of reporting, Dulles has 8 seasons with >= 40”. You don’t just snap your fingers and get a 40 incher. You live closest to Dulles of the 3 major reporting stations so I’m using it in this example.

I see what you did there, Ji…..

The entire LR thread now revolves around the posts of one person, unfortunately. That’s really unhealthy for the sub. Missing the days with old regulars like Ian, usedtobe, etc.

Should help make things feel more festive.

The suite of op guidance at range isn’t far off for temps…..GFS being the warmest. Canadian is by far the coldest but the storm is suppressed and never gets north of the VA/NC line.

Historically, El Niño winters result in above average snowfall ~50% of the time for the major reporting stations in the DMV. A boom winter isn’t a given despite what you may read. Even some moderate to strong Ninos result in crap winters, but we all drool over the thoughts of an 09/10 repeat, which was a moderate Nino.

At least the first 1-2 weeks. Source region is crap. Hopefully that changes after MLK Day.

lol. Giving PSU way too much credit. Folks need to stop worshiping him.

No, not bad. But the surface….verbatim….is meh for now. Emphasis on for now.

Two things can be correct….1) the next 1-2 weeks may be boring and 2) there is still plenty of winter left.

18z GFS is pretty much a dud for the majority of the lower 48 thru the first week of January.

If anyone is seeking out excellent skiing conditions, Alyeska is nearing 350” on the season. It’s another excellent snow season in Alaska.

Not often. It’s rare. Last winter, Mt Washington in NH recorded a wind chill below -108 F. The air temp was -47 F with winds over 100mph.

I believe he’s referring to those west of the Allegheny front.

Euro dropping another 2” of rain thru tomorrow night.

This message should be pinned. This board isn’t full of idiots totally unaware of the world surrounding them, but you wouldn’t know it from the way things are messaged by a select few.

So there is a PSU book we are now referencing?

Wow….just a dreadful showing by Purdy.
